Or, you die over and over again in said rookie suit.
But, I digress.
One reason people leave battle is the one you mention here.
But I think you're not considering another: people don't even bother to find out if they're not gonna enjoy the battle, they just leave based on corp squads in the list of names. Some battles where I looked at the merc list at the start and thought "ugh this might be tough" have been great fun.
And when I'm getting owned....it's not always proto on the death screen. The attitude I have that made me hang around to find that out is something that is probably dying out. |

As a given lobby's Mu disparity increases, the underdog SP / Isk multiplier increases. The steeper the odds are against you, the more you get paid at the end of the match. Once it is worthwhile to do so, more players will stick it out and fight through the low-quality matches.
Great idea. In addition, if this was applied dynamically throughout a match, it could solve a possible problem where the mu disparity applied at the end of the match does not reflect the average.
Might it somehow be applied for each scoring action at the time of the action? And to encourage mercs to stay...should there be a visual indication somewhere of the current multiplier?
That feels like it's overcomplicating things, but what if you're on the "stomp team" and enough stompees leave before the end for the *stomp* team to gain a multiplier? Or perhaps it should only apply to the losers?
